'In the 1994/2 issue of Australian Aboriginal Studies, Dr Stephen Wild stated that that would be his last as general editor. In fact, in the midst of many other heavy demands, he undertook most of the responsibility for the 1995/1 issue, which we therefore regard as a transitional and co-edited one. In taking over the general editorship from Stephen, I would like to acknowledge the major contribution that he has made, not only in producing seven issues of the journal but also in addressing some of the difficulties arising from rapidly expanding workloads in the Institute and consequent backlogs and delays in publication. The fact that the publication schedule is now again being met, while the quality of the material has been maintained, is very much owing to his work.' (Editorial introduction)
